Question Torsion Keys?????

I was looking online and I dont really want more than 33's on my truck and I know that a body lift is definetly NOT the way that i want to go and clear those tires. I saw on summit or ORW.com a 2" torsion key lift. This rose a couple of questions.

1) Is this a safe way to lift a truck if I dont need the full 4-6" suspension lift?
2) Am I going to need 2" bigger shocks or will stock shocks be ok?
3) What about the back of the truck do I need like a lift shackle for the rear or like a 1" block?
4) Do I need to upgrade my gears and if so to what to run 33's?

Thanks

DONT GET THE KEYS! they will wear out your cv Joints faster!

BTW, you can fit 33's stock and you dont really need gears
